thanks (I'll decipher that, to satisfy my curiosity).
After exiting screen, 'reset' does not restore the cursor when screen
has been launched. 'vim' does.
Generally speaking, reset uses the rs2 string that's defined in the terminfo.
A few times (mouse for instance), someone points out for ncurses that it
would be nice to add features to those. I'll make a note to investigate
the cursor setting in the terminfo descriptions.
vim has built-in tables which it may use instead of the terminfo description.
After some debugging, I think I've found the offending chunks in
charproc.c::SGR_Foreground() function.
The code path in this function has changed between previous (working)
and current (non-working) xterm version.
The attached patch restores the previous working (for me) code path for
SGR_Foreground().
FWIW, similar code has also been changed in a similar way in
SGR_Background() so it might be useful to have a look there.

Package: xterm

Severity: important
The cursor character is disappearing and no longer reappearing. To
reproduce the bug:
= start 'xterm' (with or without blinking cursor)
= launch 'screen'
= no cursor is shown
Is this something you can easily reproduce? (I use screen frequently,
and haven't noticed a problem).
Any time I did what's written above this with xterm 208-2. With testing,
it worked.
I'll try to gather further information for the bug report, it may also
be something related to my configuration that triggers this behavior
here.

To reproduce the bug: = start 'xterm' (with or without blinking cursor) = launch 'screen' = no cursor is shown When exiting screen, no cursor is shown again, even after typing a 'reset'.
